Wait till Zak gets through another Season and a half and he will be laughing at you for thinking such a thing.

WHYY-the Arts Channel


I watched the second half of it again- it's funny how Fagel echoes the sentiments of Paul Mooney.


I think I'll start calling him "Fageldamus"

I think I'm facing prejudice b/c of "Jersey Shore". A recruiter called me yesterday about a position, and asked me to remove my middle name from the resume. I feel dirty, like when a jewish actor changes his name to Bob Winters or something

KB, you should add "Continually Seeking Alternative Employment: 1997- Present" to your resume.

The recruiter is probably right. I would think that, in a general sense, it's probably better to have your resume come off as Ethnically-neutral as possible.

One thing I love about The Wire, other than the writing, is that, with the exception of McNulty, there are no major characters, and even he fades into the background on occasion. Characters will appear based on the story's need, not popularity or contractual obligation. Makes it seem more realistic in a way.

Agreed, F_B, but when Kima had his baby the storyline started to go downhill.

Well obviously she had to kill the baby, GGB, knowing it had a piece of Omar in him

I thought the storyline involving the love child between Carcetti and Snoop was a bit far-fetched.

They should have just changed the name of the show to BabyWire.

It seemed like 85% of the last 3 seasons took place in the Johns Hopkins maternity ward.

I'm so glad I have an Anglo last name, people can't form opinions of you from the top line of your resume.

Other posters are not so lucky

Regarding the wire, I can't believe at the end you find out that Clay Davis was dead the whole time

I don't mean to steer away from the Wire talk, but Jimmy Kimmel does Jay Leno (scroll down below).

I mean, he has it DOWN, man.

I don't know how I missed this, but I will definitely be reading this book. Did anyone see the 60 Minutes show? I just caught wind of this, and it reminds me why I have always loved this show
